Genenerating States with Mairéad Vaughan
“To know the body is to heal and go beyond the body”
Generating States is a psychosomatic movement practice that guides us to listen deeply to our body’s innate wisdom. Our bodies are intelligent. We don’t make our heart beat. We don’t make our kidneys work. We simply trust that primordial and innate intelligence of our body consciousness.
Generating States is informed by Contemporary dance, Yoga, Authentic Movement, Mindfulness and Somatic practices. This practice guides us back to re-claim our body as an innate gift, to heal trauma and empower ourselves through the following ‘states’ or ‘attunements’:
Generating Presence – Attuning to present moment awareness
Generating the Kinaesthetic Body – Attuning to our sensory nature
Generating the Energetic Body – Attuning to our energetic subtle body
Generating Creativity – Attuning to our creative authentic flow
Generating Awareness/Witnessing Consciousness – Attuning to our expanded wholeness
